It was my fault. I started it by saying, "A fallen tree is exciting."
We don't have any but we live behind an island of trees so I was imagining one falling. (This, the second storm in four days, has mostly missed us again although the trees are swaying around.)
Husband then pointed out that the tallest one, the one nearest to us was the most likely one to fall.
"But it wouldn't reach us, would it?" says I.
"Hm, probably. But it depends which way the wind is blowing."
"Hm, probably. But it depends which way the wind is blowing."
Now I'm up and looking out of the window every five minutes.
"But we're insured against falling trees, aren't we?"
"Now that is one of the universe's big questions."

One piece missing from what was for me and for a charity shop an expensive jigsaw at £6.50.

Sad that there was one 🧩 missing 😞. But also that is expensive!!!
That wasn't much of a reassurance, but Husband gets points for trying.
The missing piece was annoying. We're surrounded by big oak trees, so every time the wind gets up, we worry.
The two trees in our backyard have given us pause too.
Two of our trees were brought down by Storm Eowyn, a eucalyptus and a pittosporum. They both had shallow roots that were no match for those ferocious winds. I don't think we'll replace them, because like you we kept wondering if they might come down.
That's a good jigsaw, I agree, pricy for a charity shop. Shame about the missing piece. I hope the trees stay put.
Oh well, at least the missing piece was off to the side, not in the middle of the image.
He's a bit of a tease, eh?
